Introduction to UAICP

UAICP is the Universal Agent Integrity & Control Protocol.

UAICP defines a reliability contract for agentic workflows so systems are:

  • evidence-gated
  • verification-driven
  • policy-controlled
  • auditable

UAICP is framework-neutral and model-neutral.

What UAICP Is

  • a protocol contract for reliable orchestration
  • schemas for envelope, evidence, and verification outputs
  • conformance expectations for runtime behavior
  • a decoupled reliability layer that sits under existing frameworks

What UAICP Is Not

  • a replacement for existing agent frameworks
  • a model provider
  • a promise of autonomous correctness without verification

Operational Risk Coverage

UAICP addresses production risks that become acute in regulated and high-impact workflows:

  • no silent hallucination in final outputs
  • no unverified delivery when evidence is missing
  • no high-risk write action without policy and approval requirements
  • no black-box execution without replayable audit context

Core Reliability Outcome

UAICP systems must produce outputs that are either:

  • correct, with required evidence and verification, or
  • explicitly uncertain, with reason codes and no unsafe side effects
